Our People Will Be Healed, Alanis Obomsawin’s 50th film, reveals how a Cree community has been enriched through the power of education in a school that receives a level of funding that few other Indigenous institutions enjoy. In what ways does the spirit of a community change when one school's teachers help indigenous students to develop their abilities and their sense of pride?
